Spring and Summer

Share Your Story: Balancing Eggs on the Equinox

From sandi

How I did it

I balanced the egg on my kitchen counter a few times. Also, on the dining table. Sometimes, I left it there until it fell over, but on a dinner plate, because, well you know. Who wants to clean up raw egg from the floor?

When I did it

I've only been able to do it on the first day of spring, and the first day of summer. Try as I may, I have never been able to do it at any other time of year. I had heard that the first day of spring thing was a myth, so I have tried, and tried to get it to work at other times, but I just can't do it.

Lessons Learned

  • Place a bowl over the egg, if you plan to leave it, or stand it in a dinner plate for obvious reasons!
